So the problem with Alex's fix is that it makes a default allow profile
available on the default install. Which is a security hole unless the
apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_unconfined restriction is enabled, by
default.

We tolerate the sbuild profile because it is not installed by default,
and it really needs very broad privileges to work. Just like lxd etc
installing it is assumed to accept some risk.

On plucky we are trying to have
apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_unconfined enabled by default but it is
one of the features that had to be reverted on previous releases. The
restriction is also currently disabled by LXD, meaning the default allow
os-prober profile becomes an attack vector if the machine has LXD.

In the current default state on plucky we should be okay, so I am not
opposed to making this public. But we also need to be aware that there
are potential security concerns.

For now lets run with Alex's fix. The AppArmor team will look into
developing a tighter os-prober profile than Alex's fix, so we have that
available if needed.
